L'enfant endormi

Au Nord-Est du Maroc contemporain, une jeune mariée, Zeinab, voit son époux quitter le pays pour la clandestinité le lendemain de ses noces. Zeinab est enceinte. Dans l’attente du retour de son mari, elle fait endormir son fœtus. Le temps passe, le mari ne revient pas. A day after their wedding in the countryside of north-eastern Morocco, a young bride, Zeinab, is left alone by her husband as he joins his countrymen to work clandestinely in Europe. Zeinab discovers that she is pregnant. Not wanting her baby to be born before her husband's return, she prolonges her pregnancy. Time passes. Her husband does not return.
